Chapter 355 The Path of Immortals and Demons, The Undying Genius 59 Extra Chapter 2 Why did you only
So far, Qin Shuangjiang is very satisfied with her life.
As the young master of the fox demon clan, she admitted that she could not compare to her ancestors who had made great achievements, but under her leadership, the fox clan was steadily improving.
Speaking of cultivation, she was not even four hundred years old, yet she had already cultivated five tails. Although everyone in her clan said she was exceptionally talented, she always felt that she shouldn't have such strong talent. It was a kind of illusion that it had appeared out of nowhere.
"So what exactly are you unhappy about?" Lingzhi, dressed in an elegant crimson robe, finally couldn't help but turn halfway to the side and secretly roll her eyes in a less-than-elegant way.
Did you travel all this way to her palace just to show off your good qualities?
"I just... feel like something's missing?"
Qin Shuangjiang absentmindedly toyed with the celadon teacup in her hand, wanting to say something, yet unsure of what to say. It was as if a piece was missing from her heart, something she couldn't fill no matter how hard she tried. Over the past three hundred years, this feeling had grown stronger. What was she searching for? Or was she waiting for something?
"What's missing?" Lingzhi snatched her teacup with her left hand and picked up the tea that had been brewing on the stove with her right hand to pour tea for her.
The freshly brewed tea, its steam thick and white, rose from the celadon cup, slowly dissipating in the cool air. Qin Shuangjiang's gaze was unconsciously fixed on it, and for a moment, it seemed to form a shadow.
In that instant, an answer was about to emerge in her mind. Suddenly, a voice outside the door, a mixture of high-pitched and soft sounds, interrupted her thoughts.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has..."
"Don't go!"
"This old servant takes his leave." The person outside left so decisively, as if he were already used to such scenes.
"..."
After the footsteps outside faded away, Qin Shuangjiang stared in astonishment at Lingzhi, who was holding her forehead and pretending to have a headache.
"Are you alright like this?"
"This workaholic emperor is always asking me for blueprints on natural sciences or my opinions on the people's livelihood," Lingzhi explained irritably. Throughout the entire demon realm, which demon is like her! Sitting in the position of a favored concubine while doing the work of a laborer!
Oh, so a fox demon's life isn't a life at all! Fox demons don't need to sleep, they can work day and night!
Listening to her rambling, Qin Shuangjiang felt a little better. She drank the slightly cooled tea in one gulp and teased, "Weren't you determined to be a femme fatale who brought ruin to the country? After not seeing you for a while, how come you've changed your ways and started doing good deeds for the country and the people?"
With that thought, Qin Shuangjiang channeled her spiritual power to examine Lingzhi carefully, only to discover that there was golden light on Lingzhi's body. Even though it was weak and insignificant, it was still genuine merit.
"Isn't it just that some people say that by catering to his preferences, they can win over this brat emperor!"
As soon as Lingzhi finished speaking, both of them were stunned for a moment.
"Who is it?" Qin Shuangjiang grabbed her wrist and asked urgently.
"Ouch, you're hurting me." Feeling the pain, Lingzhi instinctively resisted, but fortunately, although Qin Shuangjiang held on tightly, she also loosened her grip quickly.
"Feel sorry."
"What's wrong with you?" Lingzhi was more curious about Qin Shuangjiang's reaction than her earlier dissatisfaction.
"Answer me first, who told you that?"
Lingzhi's charming and lively eyes darted around as she carefully searched her memory. Finally, she replied awkwardly, "No one. Maybe I overheard it somewhere by chance and wrote it down."
Hearing that it wasn't the answer she wanted, Qin Shuangjiang's eyes darkened. She took a deep breath and then said goodbye.
"Really, since you're already here, what's wrong with staying a little longer? Do you think my palace won't have room for you?" Lingzhi muttered to herself as she watched the departing figure.
"Something's not right," Lingzhi, who was just about to go to sleep, suddenly woke up with a start. "They still didn't tell me what happened to her in the end?"
There wasn't much to do on this trip, and since it was a rare opportunity to get out, Qin Shuangjiang had no intention of going back early. Even though she didn't have a clear goal in mind, she seemed to be searching for something, wandering from city to city.
Until one day after arriving in Garan City, she discovered two very interesting women—or rather, a human woman and a vengeful ghost…
Qin Shuangjiang had no interest in learning about such a peculiar combination. However, by chance, she accidentally triggered the ghostly realm of Jingfan Temple. And so, the two became acquainted through this unexpected conflict.
To be precise, it was the vengeful ghost that was unilaterally "familiar" with her. So familiar that Qin Shuangjiang knew her background and why she was paired with a human girl.
"So, you're with her to get revenge on her father?" No, she could understand revenge. But why did it turn into a scenario where the daughter of your enemy falls in love with you?
What kind of revenge is this?
Furthermore, don't you feel any discomfort facing the daughter of your enemy?!
“Why doesn’t this count!” In the night sky, on the eaves, Madam Ruan proudly raised her head and said.
Think about her plan. First, she orchestrated a heroic rescue in the mountains, then broke her legs. Next, she showered her with care and attention, using her beauty and gentleness to subtly seduce her day after day. Finally, once the deed was done, she would hold her hand and flaunt their love in front of her enemy! Let him taste the bitterness of losing the most precious person in his life!
This is called using someone else's methods against them!
After explaining her plan in detail, Madam Ruan added, "I realized this is the best revenge after listening to the master's teachings."
"..." What kind of master? Talking such nonsense with such a straight face, who would dare to say that, and you actually dare to listen to it!
Never mind, it has nothing to do with her anyway. After leaving this strangely behaving couple, Qin Shuangjiang continued her aimless journey.
Is it because she hasn't left the house in a long time, or has the world evolved to the point where she no longer recognizes it?
As Qin Shuangjiang's knowledge grew during her journey, she discovered that there were actually monsters setting up stalls and doing business at the foot of the mountain protected by the Nine Gates of Xuantian. Although they were using illusions, anyone with a little cultivation could see through their clumsy magic.
Not to mention there were several powerful cultivators not far from the street!
Perhaps it was because his gaze was too strong, or perhaps it was because the other party was wary. After a short while, the woman who was leading the group looked back.
Qin Shuangjiang turned around and browsed the jewelry stalls beside her. With her current cultivation level, she was naturally not afraid of these righteous people. However, she didn't want to cause herself unnecessary trouble.
Using the bronze mirror hanging on the stall, Qin Shuangjiang saw that they were walking towards her.
Just as she was hesitating whether to fight back or run away if the other party made a move, she heard one of the playful girls say sweetly, "Senior Sister Liang, where did you think Senior Aunt Leng could have gone if she suddenly disappeared?"
Surname Leng? Who is that?
Upon hearing this word, a flood of images suddenly flashed through Qin Shuangjiang's mind. In that instant, she seemed to see many things, yet grasped nothing.
By the time she came to her senses and tried to grab the people to ask them what had happened, they had already disappeared.
Qin Shuangjiang originally intended to continue her investigation, but was soon called back by clan affairs.
"Fine, since we know where the clues are, there's no rush." She's waited three hundred years, what's a little more time?
At night, Qin Shuangjiang, having just finished her business, took off her outer robe and stood in the pool wearing only her inner garment. Just as she was about to take off her inner garment, a large splash of water soaked her from head to toe.
Her face was dark, she held her sword and pointed it at the person sitting half-reclined in the pool. She listened coldly to the woman covering her eyes and said calmly, "I've come to return something to you."
Take your hand off!
Looking at the other person's behavior, Qin Shuangjiang found it inexplicably amusing. Who would disregard the occasion and expose themselves to such vulnerability at a time like this? For some reason, she said this.
The woman in the water hesitated for a moment, but she obediently removed her hand, though her eyes remained closed.
Without sight, her other senses became exceptionally sharp. Leng Nuan heard the clinking of a sword falling to the edge of the pool, the hurried splashing of footsteps, and smelled someone's unique, intoxicating fragrance, as well as a soft, wet body in her arms.
And then there was her tearful, aggrieved accusation.
"Why are you only getting back now?!"
